This document is the installation and operating manual for the Model 356B18 product from PCB Piezotronics, Inc.
The document serves as an installation and operating guide for the Model 356B18, a platinum stock product described as a triaxial, high-sensitivity ceramic shear ICP accelerometer. It outlines safety precautions, symbol definitions, and general handling procedures required before use.
Key operational features highlighted include fixed voltage sensitivity regardless of cable length, low-impedance output suitable for long cables, two-wire operation capabilities, and an intrinsic self-test feature to monitor sensor status. The manual also covers optional features such as adhesive mounting, extended temperature ranges, electrical isolation, metric threads, TEDS data sheets, and water-resistant cabling.
Routine calibration is recommended on an annual basis, after exposure to extreme environmental influences, or prior to any critical test.
Beyond routine calibration and battery replacements where applicable, the products require no user maintenance.
